Yes and no. All of the tutorials you see in this collection are examples of how to use the face-up third rope on top of suspendable harnesses. Here you see Fred Hatt tying a base harness that approximates an armbinder just to be able to show how you would tie the third rope on top of a form like that. However, suspending from the base harness he ties would likely be stressful for your model. Instead, you should use this video to learn the third rope pattern, and then tie it over top of something like this harness here: Strappado (Arm Binders) Tutorial | Shibari Study

It might be! Managing that suspension line behind you will definitely require a lot of shoulder mobility as well as a great deal of confidence in your upline techniques. We recommend always self-suspending with a spotter on hand, but if you try this out, definitely make sure you have someone checking your back to confirm that the upline is properly locked and to help you down if you end up stuck. Let us know how it goes!

Hi there! Good eye. Two overhand knots applied on top of each other do form a square knot. Here we use the term “overhand knot” because that describes how the knots are applied, as opposed to the method in which you form a loop and close it with the bight, making a square knot in one go. For some people, thinking about a square knot as two overhand knots is more accessible in the beginning than learning the second way.
